"Documentary, expressionism and theatricality are words which best describe my work. I am interested in the performance and choreography in daily life. The most common and everyday, the most ordinary people, within their most ordinary existence. There is always something dramatic: theatre-as-life.  

These arcane dramas of everyday human existence; acting out individual fantasies are what I seek to capture in my images. Whether in a park, on the street, in the landscape, or the more conventional place where it’s to be found - on the stage!"
